15:00:23JensBOn debian, when I run 'sudo ./rockboxdev.sh', the build ends with: "Could not retrieve 'eglibc-2_12" - does anyone know a solution to this ? [ej0rge had the same problem on 20160824]
15:03:36pamauryJensB: which toolchain?
15:05:16pamauryI am guessing ypr0
15:05:49pamauryYou'll find it almost impossible to build the ypr0 toolchain, I am in the process of recreating it but in the mean time, it's probably best if you ask someone to send you a prebuilt one
15:05:50JensBYes, it seems like it: "target = arm-ypr0-linux-gnueabi"
15:06:14pamaurylebellium: do you still have the toolchain archive? who else has it?
15:06:32JensBI can do without it. :) -I just want to set up a build-client to 'contribute' to the compile-farm.
15:07:14gevaertsIn that case you do need it!
15:07:31JensBOK. :)
15:07:31pamaurygevaerts: not necessarily
15:07:34gevaertsWe only have a few build clients with that toolchain, and it can be a problem
15:07:39pamauryalthough it would be nice
15:07:54gevaertsBut yes, you can set things up without
15:08:23JensBI'm planning on running the debian-box for at least a few months unattended.
15:08:40JensB-so all it'd do is to be a node in the compile-farm
15:11:18pamauryJensB: I would say start with the arm toolchain, it's most used one
15:11:29pamaurybut wait until my next commit in a few minutes, because it needs a fix

15:12:30pamauryhere we go
15:13:17lebelliumpamaury: how is the 'archive'? which format is it,
15:14:10pamaurylebellium: I don't know, I just remember someone ([Saint] maybe ?) offered once to send me the toolchain archive, I suspect a tar.gz or tar.bz2
15:14:34lebelliumI'll check. But maybe back to the time I really built it on instructions
15:15:08lebelliumit necessarily worked once :)

15:38:19gevaertsThere are still i686 boxes around?
15:38:52JensBI bought this one used. Heh. (Otherwise I have only PPC Macs).
15:39:29JensBIt appears the debian-box is a 3GHz dual core Intel Pentium 4.
15:40:19gevaertsOh well, another room heater is always nice :)
15:41:35JensBCertainly and this heater only cost $100. In fact, the PowerMac G5 is worse (and even more noisy). ... but the debian-box serves well as both file-sharing and build-test machine.
15:44:05JensBRoom temperature: 32.2°C - heated only by 1 x MacMini G4, 1 x PowerMac G5 and 1 x IBM ThinkCentre. 8)
15:44:45JensBWoops, forgot the two LED-bulbs; they also generate heat.
15:44:47*gevaerts always knew that macs were not cool! :)
15:45:03pixelmathe referenced zio is probably quite old, it's kugel's webspace he had back then
15:45:22pixelmazip too
15:45:26lebelliumthe working toolchain is old anyway
15:45:39gevaertsMaybe, but I don't think that toolchain was ever updated after it was introduced
15:46:09JensB"If it ain't broke ..."
15:46:22gevaertsWell....
15:46:30gevaertsAs you noticed, building it *is* broken
15:48:13pamauryI have a prototype new toolchain for ypr0
15:48:26JensBThat was quick.
15:48:29pamauryI just need lebellium to show up so I can send him a test uild
15:48:42pamaurybecause I don't have the hardware
15:48:43lebelliumhow should I show up?
15:48:48pamauryoh :)
15:48:50pamaurymagic
15:49:45lebelliumI'm browsing my Rockbox IRC logs with grepWIN to find out how I installed the toolchain back to the time
15:49:52lebelliumnot sure I'll find out that way though
15:50:42pamauryI didn't even noticed you were the one to speak earlier ;)
15:51:10lebelliumthe only results I have is [Saint] complaining once a month it doesn't build
15:51:12lebellium:D
15:53:39JensBIs the build-problems caused by crosstool ?
15:53:41pamauryI am actually wondering if it even makes sense to maintain two different toolchains for ypr0 and nwz
15:54:16pamaurybecause all we need is a arm-linux-gnueabi toolchain that supports kernels ~2.6.23 with glibc ~2.4 and alsalib
15:55:16 Quit Strife89 (Ping timeout: 244 seconds)
15:55:22lebellium[2013-10-13 20:48:11] <lebellium> It worked fine some time ago [Saint]. I successfully got mine when you forced me to set up my own RB environment in linux :)
15:55:44lebelliumnow I have to find out when I set up my RB environment :D
15:57:40JensBTo me, it looks like that the cause of my error is that "eglibc-2_12" might not be available from the location it's trying to fetch it from.
15:58:25JensB-So if the server changed or files were moved or deleted, then it's not because the build-script was broken due to a change in the script.
15:58:48pamauryJensB: your error is related to the mirror but even if you can download it, the build will fail
15:59:44*pamaury goes ahead and merge nwz and ypr0 toolchain
16:00
16:01:34pamauryshould I just call it arm-linux-gnueabi or arm-rockbox-linux-gnueabi ?
16:02:41JensBI think I have an 'arm-linux-gnueabi' already (for Cortex-M or Cortex-A, I forgot. ;)
16:03:05*gevaerts nods
16:03:16gevaertsarm-linux-gnueabi has a reasonable risk of conflicting with something else I think
16:03:21pamauryyeah
16:03:30pamaurypeople might believe arm-linux-gnueabi will do but it won't
16:03:45pamaurybecause we are very strict requirements on supporting old kernels and glibc

16:06:16JensBHave anyone added a S912 (Cortex-A53) based node yet ?
16:07:20gevaertsNot that I know of
16:07:27pamauryJensB: I *think* all our build clients are x86 based but I don't see a reason why an ARM based node wouldn't work, as long as you can build the toolchains
16:07:48gevaertsThere's some arm in there
16:08:27JensBIf I get one of those boxes, I'll try and set it up. Then we might be able to see how well it performs compared to the quick PCs.
16:08:32gevaertsI'm fairly sure that kugel-banpi-kugel is a banana pi
16:08:43gevaertsAnd bluebrother sonmetimes runs a raspberry pi client
16:09:05gevaertsI once had a build client on my nokia n900 as well, to keep my pocket warm
16:09:10JensBBanana-Pi is Cortex-A7 (Allwinner A20) running at uhm ... 1GHz or 1.2GHz I think.
16:09:29gevaertsBut yes, the majority is x86 on linux
16:12:09JensBHmm, my build seem to stop; this time at mipsel: 'cc1: error: unrecognized command line option "-fgnu89-inline"'.
16:12:38pamauryJensB: ah yeah, the mips toolchains also fail I know
16:13:04pamauryJensB: I sugggest you temporarily forget about it
16:13:05JensBOK, so I should just use "s m a" then ?
16:13:19pamauryyes
16:13:23JensBAlright. :)

16:37:40JensBHmm, it seems I'll have to focus on only 'a', because the "s m a", "m a" and "s a" builds all ends with 'mkdir: cannot create directory ‘build-gcc’: File exists'.
16:38:07JensB(it's a good idea to use 'mkdir -p' to create directories that might already exist)
16:38:07pamauryJensB: rm -rf /tmp/rbdev-build/*
16:38:51JensBOK, I've done that and will try again. :)
16:38:58pamauryI think it's a "feature" of the tool to avoid starting a build in sometimes exists
16:39:10gevaertsrockboxdev.sh has many features :)
16:39:26pamauryWell to me it makes sense but the error message is not nice
16:39:31pamauryI'm think about improving it
16:39:51JensB:)
16:40:18pamaurysince I've basically changed over 50% of rockboxdev.sh at this point...
16:45:41JensBHmm.. looking at rockboxdev.sh, you might benefit from my short build-system. As an example, this is how I usually build curl:
16:45:42JensBdlxb http://curl.haxx.se/download/curl-7.47.1.tar.bz2 −−prefix=/usr
16:46:17gevaertsWhy would you build a curl *that* old? :)
16:46:31JensBdl=download, x=extract, b=build, then the URL (cached) and finally the configure arguments.
16:46:48gevaertsDoes that handle dependencies in any way?
16:46:55JensBSorry for the old version; it's from my web-page, which has not been updated for a while.
16:46:59gevaertsBuilding toolchains can be quite a bit more involved than that!
16:47:26JensBThe build-system will cache downloads in $archives, then extract to $source and build in $build
16:47:52JensBIf a file already exist ni $archives, it's not downloaded again.
16:48:38JensBI've had 3 years of failure building the ARM toolchain (I *had* to do it myself, because noone cared about Mac PPC). =)
16:48:43JensBni = in
16:49:10pamauryJensB: rockboxdev.sh already supports all of that, but building toolchain can be more involved, especially when it comes to building linux toolchains
16:49:50JensBI'm building OpenOCD and GCC.
16:50:48JensBThe build-system is about 30 lines.
16:51:07JensBAll are bash functions calling bash functions. Each function is one line or less.
16:51:36pamauryJensB: I doubt it will shorten our script, we support more things like patching and then you just need to select the toolchain
16:52:52JensBHmm, I think I have a pastebin account...

18:22:10JensBI finally succeeded in building and are now running the client ("s m a" so far). Thank you for all the help. :)
18:25:30pamaurycool :)
18:26:05JensBI have not been able to do any checks, though - is rockboxdev.sh doing this automatically ?
18:26:37pamauryJensB: no, I suggest you try a build with each toolchain
18:27:04JensBOK, just a simple "Hello World!" ?
18:27:15pamauryideally you want to do a rockbox build to be sure
18:27:28pamauryjust make sure it builds I mean
18:28:02JensBI'm following you. ./configure ...
18:28:24pamaurysay you checked out our repo in rockbox/

21:26:10[Saint]fishbulb: I'm not sure what you think that means.
21:26:32fishbulbwho here doesn't have something that is an acronym
21:26:59[Saint]even if that were the case it doesn't mean it is the place to ask about it or make it on topic discussion.
21:27:08fishbulbyou're the one keeping this going
21:27:48pamaurywodz: sure. First build the toolchain, using ./rockboxdev.sh, I merge ypr0 and nwz toolchains. In the mean time I'll create a nwz-e470 port. You then can compile the bootloader and rockbox as usual. Side note on toolchain: you'll need to install libmpc-dev, libmpfr-dev and another such package
21:29:54pamauryThen you need to install the bootloader: in utils/nwztools/scripts, run:
21:29:54pamaurymake install_dualboot NWZ_TARGET=nwz-e470 UPG=install_dualboot_nwze470.upg EXEC=/path/to/bootloader.elf
21:29:54pamaurymake copy_fw_upgrade UPG=install_dualboot_nwze470.upg NWZ_MOUNT=/path/to/dev/mount/
21:29:54DBUGEnqueued KICK pamaury
21:29:54pamaurysudo make do_fw_upgrade /path/to/dev
21:29:54pamauryIf everything goes right, you now have rockbox bootloader running, and a nice menu to choose between OF and RB.

21:33:18wodzpamaury: Ok. I'll try to find some time in the next days to mess with this.
21:33:47pamaurywodz: sure, I migt update the instruction if I find time to put together a proper mknwzboot
21:34:17fishbulbif the player and firmware expect a physical drive what can I do to make it freeze up less
21:34:52wodzfishbulb: easy, find what makes ssd freeze and fix driver in rb

21:41:12fishbulbnothing is spinning so how do I change that
21:43:03pamauryI seem to recall people have patches, but since they hardly ever try to push it to mainline (or maybe we didn't do the effort to include them), I don't know where to find them
21:43:43fishbulbI can't find a thread about ssd conversion that says anything about patches
21:44:30[Saint]in all fairness the challenges with iPods and MSATAs is usually down to "the Tarkan adapters are poorly engineered pieces of shit".
21:44:36lebelliumgetting patches merged is not easy for non-core developpers. It may be frustrating for them at the point they give up working on the project. I can think of a specific example
21:45:11[Saint]I know of one ssd related patch but that's never going in mainline.
21:45:14pamauryyeah the problem is that most ATA patches plain break other devices
21:45:22[Saint]that's an outright hack.
21:45:30pamauryor do think like use horrible hacks or poor timings
21:45:53[Saint]it just does "keep trying until we hit or give up", and it's tied to clocks so it'll fail whever we boost.
21:46:07[Saint]that's the patch I'm thinking of people always thing we should include.
21:46:27[Saint]boyondwind's.
21:46:28[Saint]s/thing/think/
21:47:19[Saint]I probably get asked about that about three or four times a year because it fixes some edge case conversion with an esoteric SSD with broken firmware.
21:48:40fishbulbif it's a poorly done hatchet job then it's not really a patch
21:48:54fishbulb"a patch that WORKS for solid state drives"
21:49:02fishbulbwould probably be what people want
21:49:22[Saint]the probalem with that is putting the exact hardware in the hands of someone with the skill and time.
21:49:52[Saint]there's not just "SSDs". there's "a bajillion SSDs that do things every so slightly differently".
21:50:25fishbulbso now I only need "rockbox coding skills"
21:50:32[Saint]usually fixing a bug like this comes down to either getting that hardware to someone willing, or getting it done yourself.
21:50:40fishbulbthat's the last skill required to do this
21:51:32[Saint]Fortunately, we're mostly C. Much worse and significantly less useful languages to learn.

21:58:01pamauryI guess for ATA it would make sense to do like Linux: have a list of quirks, identify the broken adaptor with the ATA identity (hoping it reports the adaptors, not the msata) and apply the correct fix
21:58:21pamauryuntil someone implements that, no SSD patch will make it mainline I'm afraid
21:58:46[Saint]especially not one as broken-ass as the only one I'm aware of on offer.

22:57:05pamauryplenty are buyable second hand, but all very discontinued I think. Hopefully the new ports will be usable soon
22:58:53girafe2very disappointed that no sandisk new model has same qualities than older ones
23:00
23:02:36[Saint]honestly, why?
23:02:44[Saint]their build quality has always been shit.
23:04:02[Saint]gritty unusable clickwheels, creaky cheap plastic cases, off-centered displays, jack ports that are hilariously badly secured...
23:05:08lebelliumsandisk hater \o/
23:05:38[Saint]Damn skippy.
23:05:51lebelliumhe's right, the newer models have worse hardware and OF
23:06:07lebelliumthat's part of qualities
23:06:12lebelliumnot everything is about build quality
23:06:40[Saint]the older models were "OK" if you could accept that "hitting them really hard" was an accepted debugging mode for failure.
23:06:52girafe2i was just looking for a very affordable player with rockbox, and a good FM RDS radio
23:06:57[Saint]that's true of the early iPods too I guess.
23:07:00lebelliumyou can't expect a 50€ player to have the same build quality as an iPod (since you're obviously always referring to iPod)
23:07:04girafe2and the sandisk clip zip was ok for that
23:07:42[Saint]lebellium: I don't think that was obvious at all. I do like iPods, but I don't place them as highly as you'd think.
23:07:50girafe2(and also ok to do all of this for sports)
23:08:22[Saint]If I didn't treat it was a museum piece and if they were more readily available I'd use my gigabeast all day every day.
